À propos de cet hébergement

Penthouse 280 Views/Outdoor Living/Pool/Gardens

ALL beachfront properties have good views of Half Moon Bay, but this condo has superlative views. Actually impossible to photograph as they are almost 270 degrees. Post card perfect!

The dreaded sargassum (seaweed) plagues much of the Caribbean and Mexican beaches. But our little complex, La Sirena, is one of the very few that has NONE due to our location on Half Moon Bay. Our clean beach combined with having twice the space as other complexes the same size, creates a very special private resort feel.

Originally built for one of the first land owners of Akumal, this condo is uniquely situated that it has the ultimate in Caribbean viewing for this area; beautiful towards both the south (towards Akumal Bay) and also to the north (Yal Ku). On a very clear day, you can see all the way up the coast to Puerto Aventuras, about 10 miles north. Combine this location, with Azul Cielo's extra expansive outdoor spaces, make this condo a uniquely special place.

Azul Cielo is located in the La Sirena condominium complex, which is on the northern end of Half Moon Bay. Half Moon Bay is now considered 'north' Akumal, just north of Akumal Bay, and where the majority of beach front condos and houses are, but NO large hotels! La Sirena is known for it's extra large pool (even with a lap lane), it's expansive gardens, and the largest beach area (double the width) of other complexes in Akumal. And just off our beach is a stunning coral reef providing the best snorkeling in miles.

Azul Cielo, is on the third floor, and has floor-to-ceiling windows for a complete unobstructed view across the full width of the condo. The beach-side covered patio is outfitted with fotons for fabulous lounging, and also dining, making it into a complete outdoor, but protected california lifestyle. Sleep, eat, or just be mezmerized by the best sunset views in Akumal.

The open floor plan consists of a large open combined kitchen and living area. The recent remodeled kitchen boasts South American granite, and cabinetry made of local hardwoods. It is fully outfitted with full size appliances, and everything needed for making your culinary favorites while gazing at the bay.

The condo has two large bedrooms along with two bathrooms. Each bedroom has king size beds with super comfortable orthopedic mattresses and pillows. The garden side bedroom has an on-suite bathroom, whose shower boasts a large window down into the gardens.

Just off the garden sized bedroom is a another large outdoor area, replete with seating. Views here are of our wonderful gardens and pool, the jungle and more of the Caribbean.

Azul Cielo is fully outfitted for a wonderful relaxing vacation. She has air conditioning throughout, as well as ceiling fans in every room, secured wireless internet, daily maid service, and English based satellite TV.

Our complex, La Sirena, is known for its wonderful tropical gardens which attract migrating butterflies, hummingbirds and even the occasional monkey! Within the gardens is our large pool boasting Caribbean blue tiles and even a large lap lane. This is a favored place to relax after time spent on the beach and sand.

La Sirena is located on the northern end of Half Moon Bay, now called North Akumal. As two lots were combined to create our complex, we have double the space AND BEACH as other complexes having the same amount of units.

Akumal is sixty miles south of Cancun International Airport, south on the four lane, newly renovated highway 307. Half Moon Bay (HMB) s considered the 'original' Akumal, along with Akumal Bay. HMB is where most of the beachfront houses and small condo complexes are; and is a designated ecological zone, therefore it is very low density. So while you are close to everything you are in the middle of nowhere as it is very private and quieter. North Akumal is a quiet, laid-back area focused on our beautiful bay and beaches, snorkeling and pristine diving. There are Mayan ruins, golf, nature parks, cenotes, even active nightlife.

As travelers ourselves we have adapted our policies to be much more supportive than the standard, including more flexible payment and cancellation options. We have also implemented the most modern current cleaning protocols. And our staff are dedicated only to us, they don't move around to other complexes... Less exposure. Finally our complex is twice the size as others, with the same number of units. So social distancing is natural. Check out our website for details!

Everything is provided for a stress free vacation: free parking, Wifi, daily maid service (except on Sunday), unlimited bottled water delivered to the unit, full air conditioning, satellite TV, all linens, including beach towels, and so much more! Let us know what you wish!

At Azul Cielo you can have the perfect combination of a relaxing yet invigorating vacation!

As a reminder, we follow a seasonal cancellation policy. As there are constant changes being made by the OTAs, this may not always be reflected properly in their system. As an integrated partner with proven exceptional service and fairness, our Rental Agreement takes precedence. For Details see our rule or feel free to ask Ask Questions.

Perfect spot for a relaxing getaway

We loved the peaceful location of this complex, tucked near the end of the road. And the grounds and gardens were beautiful— full of tropical foliage and flowers. The swimming pool was lovely and clean, and we also appreciated the outdoor shower on the beach side of the building. The best part about the unit is the balcony! It was really nice to enjoy being there so much that we didn’t feel the need to ever leave, even though there were plenty of wonderful things within walking distance (shopping, restaurants, lagoon). The amenities provided, both in the unit and in the complex, were well thought out.

Beautiful!

Beautiful property - view is amazing. Beach out front is difficult with kids (very rocky and there are sea urchins), but the private beach in town is gorgeous and well worth the $5 admission. Pool is lovely after a long day of touring the area. Would highly recommend - can’t wait to go back!

Wonderful stay

Lovely condo that is accurately described in the listing. You can tell this is a second home for the owner with the nice amenities and extra supplies of spices and toiletries. Only complaints which was minor is the low water pressure in the shower but that's part of living near water.

Relaxing week on Half moon bay

The property is as described. The condo is spacious, charming, and has character. Loved the high ceilings and the views. We stayed here Christmas week 2019. there were very few people along the entire Half-moon bay. The condo and the area in general were very quiet - great for a laid back, relaxing vacation.

Awesome Stay!

We were two couples that really enjoyed this very well equipped condo (no BBQ facility though) for two weeks. Location was great, nice and quiet about 2 km from the arch in Akumal. Beds and bedding was wonderful. Snorkelling out front was decent and there were turtles out there. If you don't rent a car there are few restaurants within walking distance (La Lunita was one of our favs). Yal-Ku lagoon was great and would recommend. Thank you Diana for offering your condo, we had a great time!

Perfect Beach Vacation

This place was even better than we expected. As soon as we arrived, we felt like we had stepped into paradise! The location and view were just amazing. I loved being able to wake up and head right out to the balcony to enjoy my coffee while looking out over the ocean. My 7 yo daughter made great use of the pristine pool. The kitchen was well stocked. You can snorkel in the bay right out front, but it’s also walking distance to an awesome lagoon for snorkeling and several restaurants. I’m already dreaming of planning my next vacation here. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a serene, tropical vacation.

Week in Paradise

We just returned from a wonderful week stay in Azul Cielo. Diana was a gracious host, quickly responding to any questions we had. The condo was clean and well equipped, with lovely views of the water. We spent many hours relaxing under the palapas and snorkeling right off the property in Half Moon Bay. The pool area is an added bonus, surrounded by beautiful landscaping. La Sirena is perfectly located on a quiet street, walking distance from several excellent restaurants, Akumal Beach and the amazing Yal Ku lagoon. The Tulum Mayan ruins are a quick 30 min drive from La Sirena. The entire week was filled with fun and relaxation - we can’t wait to return!

Fabulous relaxing time.

What a fabulous stay we had. We fell in love with La Sirena!The grounds are gorgeous, pool was a beautiful touch to use and do laps. The staff are top notch, friendly and always eager to assist. Rosa and Francesca especially stood out and made this a very memorable vacation/trip. Ceilo was a wonderful unit! The two decks gave us incredible space to relax outside, star gaze, enjoy coffee and yes to read. It is decorated as a combination of Mexico and New York, having every amenity that you could ask for. We felt like we were being pampered by the unit and the staff. The beach space was beautifully cared for, with direct access to the water, what more could you ask for. Maybe 4 wonderful restaurants all within a few minutes walk just adds to things.

We will be back!!!

I've been to this area 5 times in 2 years, and this was by far the nicest place we've stayed. I woke every morning and turned to look out the window at the waves. The beach is right there and we spent hours snorkeling. We didn't even need to bring our own equipment because Diana provided it, too. It was clean with a working kitchen, and we only had 1 difficulty that was resolved within 5 minutes of sending a message. (Coffee maker wasn't working and a new one was brought and set up before I even saw their reply.) There are adorable agouti, coati, geckos, and hermit crabs wandering in downtown Akumal where you'll find great restaurants and things to do. The pool looked very clean, though we always chose the bay. The pdf with info about the stay and nearby facilities was invaluable. We will definitely book a stay here again!

Tranquility and Relaxation at its best

This was our first stay at Azul Cielo and will not be our last. Let me start with the beach side balcony with two day beds and plenty of space to hang out all day. The view is fantastic and the sunsets you should not miss The condo is beautifully decorated and the owner has thought of everything that you will need for your stay plus extra. We have stayed in several places along Half Moon Bay and this has been the best. The garden and pool area deserve a big round of applause also as it was more like a serenity garden, Sitting beach side and then being able to go and sit garden side felt like big resort options but without the big resort busyness . We had one little issue during our stay and the response was extremely quick. Our reservation process was easy and before we arrived we were given instructions and maps that made the arrival and getting into the Condo a easy and comfortable experience. Diana was wonderful and Phyllis the owner made the place feel like home.

Relaxing Getaway

The Azul Cielo suite in the La Sirena condo complex is the perfect size for 3-4 people. The unit was clean, well-appointed, and what appliances we used were functioning. The view is spectacular from the south-facing deck which is mostly protected from the prevalent westerlies. Snorkeling and other water gear are provided, along with an exercise ball, a yoga mat, wireless speakers, and two TVs (one in the kitchen and one in the interior bedroom). The beds are hard but have foam toppers. We were there for 11 days but the sheets were not changed after a week per the instructions. The water pressure in the back bedroom shower was weak, so we only used the central shower. Otherwise, the suite met our needs.

Perfect location in paradise!

Just returned from a wonderful stay at Azul Cielo in this gorgeous location. The condo was lovely, everything we needed for our stay and more, and Diana was incredibly helpful and informative - from assisting with transfers to a wealth of information about the area and suggestions of what to do. Was a great idea of hers to stop for groceries on the drive down to stock up for our stay as limited grocery shopping in Akumal - we went over to the pueblo to the farmers market and stocked up on fresh fruit and vegetables galore. We were there for ten days but only left Akumal once - spent most of our time at the reef right outside our front door. Great snorkeling and steps away from the condo which is on the third floor and has a fabulous view of the bay from a lovely balcony with lush greenery - enjoyed the peacefulness and quiet of our location. Plenty of bars/restaurants down the road in Akumal - it's a bit of a hike in the heat but we rented a golf cart to get around. Yal Ku lagoon was right on our doorstep and we spent a lovely day there snorkeling - be aware that no sunscreen is allowed so bring a rash guard - go early before the crowds arrive. We snorkeled in Akumal Bay (must have a guide but he was great) and saw the magnificent sea turtles - an awesome experience! An absolutely wonderful vacation in a great location - highly recommend!

Kate, Thanks for the great review. I actually find it fun to introduce people to our little slice of paradise. Even though it feels like we are in the middle of nowhere, we are actually in middle of the Maya Riviera. That's why I built my website a couple of years ago, there's just so much to do ! Anyways, we would love to have you back!

Azul Cielo

This condo is so spacious and gorgeous. We had the opportunity, the three of us, to stay there for 11 nights in early December. All of the windows and screen doors functioned well and when you open them there was a wonderful ocean breeze that would pass right through the entire place. It cooled everything off nicely and we only used the AC a couple of times at night, in one of the bedrooms, right before bed, to cool everything off for sleep. The AC did work though in every room. Everything was functioning quite well, and dependable! There were many products to choose from for styling your hair, shampoos, conditioners, body lotions, bug sprays and sunblock varieties. There was also a blow dryer and a flattening iron. If you forgot anything at all it's probably already there waiting for you. Bottled water was replaced regularly, you rarely even had to ask and if you did the response from the staff was always immediate. Francesca was very friendly and happy to help if you ran into any issues or needed any insight into getting around. Lots of spices were on hand and basics to help you cook any meal that you would like. Azul Cielo was beautifully decorated with old world Mexican charm. Historic black and white photos and wooden collectibles were found throughout. There was a lovely terrace overlooking the gardens and the pool off the second bedroom. We actually used that bedroom as the master bedroom, though it is not considered so. It had its own bathroom which was nice. It was also just more quiet for us when there were people getting up early in the morning. You couldn't hear any voices travel from the living room area or kitchen to that bedroom. There are many places to hang wet bathing suits and towels, plenty of hot water and tons of closet space. Toilet paper was provided and really I can't think of anything that was lacking! The ocean terrace was very spacious and comfortable. A lovely table for having drinks or meals and also two large comfy futons at both ends. Many vibrant healthy plants are on both large terraces. And now for the best part - the most fabulous ocean view possibly ever! The sound of the ocean was so soothing and the views of both the sunrise and the sunset were able to be seen from the ocean terrace. It was a very special time of year to visit. The snorkeling was amazing (though we encountered everything but turtles) and the condo itself is very quiet and we felt very safe. There's a police station right across the street with a very friendly police dog named Kilo and we always trusted the staff and the surrounding area. An absolutely gorgeous and private paradise. The residents and the visitors were all friendly and we would definitely come back and enjoy this gorgeous home! The ocean is very inviting and this condo sits up three pretty easy flights of stairs but it is worth every step for it's view and to hear the ocean breeze through the palm trees. Enjoy!

Overall a Great Experience

3rd time staying on Half Moon Bay. I'd rate this location 4.5 stars if it would let me, but overall giving it a 4* due to just a few small things. Had a few housekeeping issues, and the property manager never really came to address, but Diana was 5* in working with us throughout. This unit on the 3rd floor has tremendous views - it is in good shape, and everything we needed was there. Beach and pool are both fantastic (beach is man-made mind you but that is clearly an advantage on HMB ). The property itself is clean & well maintained (the grounds). Anyway, we would recommend this unit and will be returning some day I'm sure.

Halfmoon bay at Akumal

Nice 2 bedroom condo on the beach, would definitely stay there again. Kitchen was well set up, bathrooms were clean and beds were really comfortable. Nice view of the bay, comfortable balcony and short walk to good restaurant. On the North end of the road around the bay so a quiet location. 5 minute walk to the lagoon for snorkeling. Only minor problem, the hot water pilot light blew out and had to be re-lit.
VrboOwner a répondu le 31 mars 2020
HI Ron, Thanks for your review. We are glad you had a lovely time. As to the pilot light, our hot water heaters are on the roof for safety; and contained in their own buildings. From talking to our maintenance, the week that you were there, there was a series of strong wind storms that blew out many of these. We are looking into ways to keep them ventilated, but in a more controlled manner.

Had a nice vacation here. The good: Property is clean and neat. Beautiful view of bay and really gorgeous courtyard. Really comfortable beds and service was excellent. Lots of filtered water refilled without even asking. The grounds are meticulously well-maintained, including grooming of the beach area. Pool is clean, clear, and a nice place to spend some time surrounded by the beautiful plants. Free and abundant parking out front and an easy walk to Yal-ku. Check-in was simple even though we arrived very late at night. The bad: uncomfortable furniture, couches actually built in to the wall at right angles. We gave up on sitting together in the living area and piled onto the master bed. Other chairs are good for eating at the table but little else. Literally no comfortable place to sit and lounge. No microwave oven (odd, right?). Unpleasant smells in master bathroom. No hot water last 1.5 days and we didn’t have time to follow up before our flight out. The only fully functional TV was in the bedroom which, again, made it hard to enjoy time together unless we were all on the bed. Other: Plants are everywhere on the balcony. Pretty and nice, but so many that you really can’t sit and enjoy the view; they block it. Next door condo was sometimes party central with music booming late into the night twice during our stay. Our condo owners dealt with it after that so the nights were then quiet but the music still blared through the day. There never seemed to be anyone at the office or check-in area. We did get quick responses to emails but that’s not really real-time help if you need it. More generally, sargassum seaweed was awful in the bay so snorkeling was unpleasant about half the days. That was a shame because we had hoped to do more snorkeling. The sea wall at the condo, though, keeps it from piling up and stinking here like it does on much of the rest of the bay. Really this was one of the few places on Half-Moon Bay not beleaguered by the stench of rotting sargassum seaweed. We had to hold our breath through certain stretches around the bay as we biked or drove into town. One final note. If you have little kids please be aware that the balcony railing is only two horizontal boards and it looks like it would be very easy for a small child to slip through.

Chris, Thank you for staying with us on your vacation; I wished it had been absolutely perfect. Regarding some of your comments, unfortunately the 2 weeks you spent with us experienced the worst of the sargassum the area has ever seen. The seaweed started showing up in Caribbean and Florida several years ago, and now the Yucatan is also receiving it during the summer months. Not all areas have it, and our complex is very lucky that we have none, not only due to our little sea wall, but also because of our location being on the north end of the bay. So our beach is clear and clean. Unfortunately, as it is a natural phenonma, we can’t control it hitting nearby areas or how quickly it is cleaned up by those areas. We were there at the same time, and had a great time snorkeling almost every morning. We found that mornings are much better, as the water is calmer so not much sargassum is around then, and as well, mornings are when when the fish like to feed. It was also nice to meet and talk with you; I wish that I would have known some of your concerns. So I’m a little surprised by them, as I hope that I could have addressed them on the spot. It was a coincidence that I was there, as while I spend a lot of time there, I don’t live there. As mentioned on the documentation provided, unlike many other condos, “we do have dedicated on-site staff from 8am – 5pm; but their main responsibility is maintaining our homes and the complex. Therefore, they are around the complex working”. We are a small complex, with individually owned condos and villas, not a condo hotel, so we really don’t have a dedicated staffed reception area. Regarding the July 4th celebration party next door, I agree, it was loud. We did discuss it, and we talked to them and they toned it down. As to the specifics of the interior, due to the fact that we are so close to the water and the Caribbean sea and subject to direct hurricane hits, the style of building is to have sofas and even beds built into the concrete this way. Most condos in the area are like this. The owner has many pillows on the couches, and has gone to great lengths to make the beds comfortable and also the beach porch has wonderfully comfortable futons. As to the microwave, the old one had broken right before your arrival which I was not aware of (the caustic environment factor). I apologize; there is a new one there now. The TV in the main living room is internet enabled and also is set up with NetFlix. In this way, people have 2 separate options; very few condos in the area have 2 TV’s much less big screens as this condo does; however, we are considering switching the capabilities. As to the plants on the porches, they are placed under the railings you mention. Please note that the owner chooses not rent to those with young children. I hope all the above helps with some explanation, it was very nice to meet and converse with you. In the end, I hope you have pleasant memories of your time with us in Akumal.

Amazing view! Very safe location

The location was perfect for our dive trip. We had a wonderful time and felt like a welcome guest at Diana‘s beautiful condominium. Can’t wait to go back!

Jeff, I'm glad you had a wonderful on your dive trip; we have some amazing diving just outside our reef. I hope that you also got some diving (or at least snorkeling) in at some cenotes, which are unique to the Yucatan. But it does take some special training. We look forward to having you back. Diana

Perfect location on the bay

The location of the condo on Half Moon Bay was perfect. Did not have the seaweed experienced by other locations in the bay. Also an amazing view from the unit with an awesome balcony!

Thank you Donna for your stay and also for your review. Yes, we have been told by many guests that we have the best views on the bay! It has become a La Sirena tradition to watch sunset on our beach. And you are correct, we do not have the sargussm issue that others do, as we are on the north end of the bay. We look forward to your return! Diana

Lovely condo with fabulous views

We're a family of four, now with two young adults, from Colorado and we typically take one or two beach vacations a year. We often stay at all inclusive resorts in Mexico and this was our first time using VRBO and a private condo. Previous to our stay I did lots of research and we couldn't have been happier with the condo itself and Half Moon Bay! The condo is very clean, the kitchen is well equipped (although I would recommend perhaps adding a microwave), all three air conditioners worked great and the beds were comfortable. There is even a large screen smart TV in one of the bedrooms but the best part were the comfy futon beds out on the large oceanfront balcony...perfect for afternoon naps. We did experience some problems with the hot water but they were tended to quickly after we reported the concern. My husband hurt his leg when we arrived at Cancun airport and he did struggle to get up to the condo on the stairs because he was on crutches. But the property manager, gardening staff and house keepers were particularly concerned about his well being, and moved swiftly around him. Outside the condo...we walked to Yalku lagoon which was great when the bay was a little rough. We took taxis two days to Akumal bay, which was about US $6 each way and was Us $5 per person to enter the beach. We took our own snorkeling masks and tubes and saw tons of fish, sting rays and some large turtles right in front of the two resort hotels...no need to hire a guide. Beyond that we mainly stayed at the beach in front of the condo and enjoyed several meals at La Buena Vida restaurant which is about a ten minute stroll from the condo. We found the water in the bay a little scary for us land locked people to be in for long, due to some sea urchins and tiny jellyfish, but we loved that we could sit on the sun loungers and see fish right from there. Overall we really enjoyed our trip and want to thank the owner for allowing us to share their home for a few days. We would definitely go back and would recommend it to families that enjoy the Mexican Riviera Maya and want a change from all inclusive resorts.

Thank you, and your family, Mandy for your visit. And also for your very detailed review and helpful information. Yes, it is very easy to get around here, and while quiet and safe, there is still plenty to do! But then we all really do think that there always needs to be time for watching our wonderful bay! We look forward to welcoming you again. And we have added the microwave, in addition to the countertop convection oven. Diana

Gorgeous property; lovely condo

Diana provided helpful information. Her home was a home away from home. Coffee on the balcony was delightful. Friendly, helpful staff on property.

À propos de l’hôte

I started coming Akumal with friends a decade ago. Initially I would come here as a way to decompress from am intense work schedule. But I fell in love with the area: the culture, the food, the people, the flora and fauna. I learned how to snorkel in our Half Moon Bay, and it has now become my passion. This area has introduced me to a complete new world.

Voici pourquoi l’hôte a choisi cet hébergement

From coming to Akumal, I became friends with several other owners in the complex. I was looking at several other places; but always comparing to ours and left wanting. And then my condo became available and I jumped!

For my particular condo, I love my beach porch; it's a complete living area within itself. I become mesmerized by my views, sometimes sleeping outside on my futons. And although I am not a cook, I enjoy entertaining with my new kitchen.

Voici ce qui rend cet hébergement unique

There are so much more space in our complex that people don't feel on top of each other. We can be on the beach area or also in the gardens and around our pool. Our complex is also unique in that no one is up against the road.

Our beach faces south and west so we have the very best sunset views. It has become a tradition for resident sunset happy hour on our beach. Our location is perfect!
